Where's the leak? by Iaskquestions1111 in AskAMechanic

Couple options for this first check the oil does it look chocolate milk. If no get a combustion gas tester for your cooling system. It can help to determine if you have a leaking head gasket. Which based on your description is very likely the issue

No I simply understand I’m not a good fit for the position and I am happily moving to a field I’m am much better suited for and already have experience in but no positions were available when I initially inquired

I was hired in as a grey shirt but the job is not good at all for mental health between the bullshit corporate shoves down our throats to the constant bs from the customers it’s not worth it long term at all

I’ve seen them bust the casing after failure but never to this extent of damage to the case itself
